Garden Studio with ocean views

TraceyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Kate and Johnny were perfect hosts. Let us be but always instantly available. They have lots of knowledge of the area. Very friendly and welcoming. We appreciated fresh bread, fruit and spreads for breakfast. Quiet and picturesque setting from our deck and in the spa looking down over the beach. Walkable distance into town albeit a steep but manageable path. Bed was super comfy. We weren’t doing activities in CBD but driving around all areas east. Thank you both. We will recommend.

Sunny Bayview Studio - Charteris Bay, Canterbury

MelissaRating, 5 stars14 months ago
Thank you for hosting us Felicia, we had a wonderful stay. The studio was clean, tidy, and well stocked with pots, pans, microwave, two burner electric portable, cooking element and on bench convection oven. Only thing missing was a hair dryer. Your communication was prompt, spot-on, and extremely helpful with information, such as places to eat, walks in the area and how to get to /from Littleton to see the lovely markets on the Saturday morning. The TV Chromecast was useful and enabled us to watch our Netflix at night. The views from the studio across Banks Peninsula Bay was spectacular, and it was wonderful to see the lights across the harbour. of Littleton at night. It was really special being amongst the lovely surroundings of trees and hearing/seeing the birdlife. Only thing I’d note to future travellers of the area is there is limited places to eat out,two places I would recommend are two thumbs brewery & Orton Park Cafe. Thanks again, I’d love to return.

Lovely, sunny ensuite home with most facilities

WynRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Dave was a very helpful host and the place was exactly as described and located in a quiet residential cul-de-sac. There are two natural areas close by, plus the river. Palms mall with a grocery store was 25 min walk. If you don't like walking or don't have a vehicle perhaps not right for you, but I loved getting my steps in through the parks and taking the bus. Would absolutely stay again.
A bright studio space features botanical print wallpaper, a cozy blue couch, and a double bed draped with a green cover. A small white table is centered on a textured rug, with fresh greenery adding a touch of nature to the setting.

Discover "The Sandbar Nook" in South New Brighton

KaterinaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I have been to a few tiny houses and this one was the best so far. Beautifully done, well organized, private and cosy. We felt right at home. The little cabana and the garden is sweet extra. Nearby Dune cafe and the beach are must visit. I’d definitely book again.

Tranquil seaside summit retreat

CraigRating, 5 starstoday
Sandra & Daryn's place is beautiful and well appointed, very modern and has stunning views. The washer/dryer was appreciated (we stayed in many B&Bs on our trip and this is not as common as you'd think). Bed was comfy, and Sandra & Daryn are very responsive and helpful if you need anything. We also appreciated Zara the cat coming to see us (she's gorgeous!) We will absolutely stay here again when we visit Christchurch again. Thanks Sandra & Daryn.

The Potter’s Guesthouse

KatrinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Communication was great - I had some questions before and got a response almost immediately. Instructions on how to get into the property were very clear and detailed, which made it very smooth for us to arrive even in the dark. There was plenty of space for all of us and (although we didn't use either of it) there was a well equipped kitchen and even a washing machine. All you could need and more.

Bayview Retreat - Your Tranquil Haven

VictoriaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I would say that this home far exceeds the average standards. Ulrike’s home really makes you feel like you are home. The garden is beautiful and overlooks the sea to Lyttelton. Everything inside is aesthetically pleasing, and you can tell that she puts extra care into each individual accent. She really counts for what people might like to do and make sure that the home is full of endless possibilities and suggestions and ways for you to detach from screens and enjoy the space that you’re in. She’s also very communicative and a joy to talk with and share with. Even though the main property is on the same site as the guest house you never feel like your privacy is being invaded. They leave a lot of space for you to explore and to just have peace with yourself and your partner. The grill was an exceptional piece and bonus. We loved making burgers and cooking and the kitchen had everything that you could ask for. It’s just very clear that Ulrike puts a lot of care into their space.

Great value for money! Liz’s place provided a great base for us to access family in the north of the city, as well as get in and around town for sightseeing. Accommodation was comfortable and communication was excellent. Although grocery shops and cafe are within walking distance, we really appreciated the basic food supplies provided when we arrived. Thanks Liz!

Your own spacious studio near the Airport

DingRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Staying at Hiroshi and Kayori’s guesthouse for four nights was a great experience. The space was clean, well-organized, and provided all the essentials one would expect from quality accommodation. The nights were quiet, and the location was convenient—close to both the university and the airport. Hiroshi and Kayori were polite and thoughtful hosts, checking in on our needs several times during the stay. Their lovely spoodle, Pongo, was also friendly and playful. We came to Christchurch for my graduation ceremony, and the stay added joy to our time here. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Christchurch.
